RE: XSL Transform

I agree with Merlin.  

My take on the correct schema construct would be

...
<schema targetNamespace='&dsig;' 
   version='0.1' 
   xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema'
   xmlns:ds='&dsig;'
   elementFormDefault='qualified'
   xmlns:xsl=""> <!--  NEW  -->
...
  <element name='Transform'> 
    <complexType content='mixed'>
      <choice minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='unbounded'> 
        <any namespace='##other' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
        <element name='Xpath' type='string'/> 
        <element ref="xsl:stylesheet"/>    <!--  NEW  -->
      </choice>
      <attribute name='Algorithm' type='uriReference' use='required'/> 
    </complexType>
  </element> 
...

where the <!--  NEW  --> comments indicate which lines have changed
in the XML Signature schema.

Thanks, Ed

An XSL stylesheet is a well-formed XML document. Is there
a reason for it being stringified in an XSLT element?

   <element name='Transform'> 
       ...
         <element name='XSLT' type='string'/>

Would not a more useful expression be:

         <element ref='xsl:stylesheet' minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='1'>

Or however one expresses that as a schema. Or just put it
as an ANY element so the external schema/DTD is not required.

I looked in the archives and could not easily discover an
explanation for the current expression.
